Oil pulling works!

by Christine Wolf
(Racine, Wisconsin)

I came across oil pulling quite by accident on the internet. I had never heard of this before even though I have tried many other alternative remedies.



Well, at first it was difficult even finding the oil in a supermarket. Most carry canola and vegetable oil but I finally located toasted sesame oil at a Piggly Wiggly store. When I tried "swishing" my first reaction was "yuk" but I decided to stick with it to see if there would be any benefits. One of the first things that happened was an increase in mucous coming out of the back of my throat. Then what I thought was a piece of tooth broke off from one of my bottom teeth. It was really a big chunk of plaque. I also noticed that swishing cleaned the plaque off the rest of my teeth and my mouth felt fresher.

After a few days of oil pulling I also noticed how soundly I was sleeping. The sleep was very deep and relaxing. I also felt more relaxed during the day. My energy level also seems to be increasing and my mind is sharper and skin more radiant. As far as curing a disease I am curious to see what effect the oil pulling will have on my high blood pressure. But in only 3 weeks I have experienced much good because of the oil pulling. I will probably do it for the rest of my life.

It is best to use high quality cold pressed oil, organic if possible, for oil pulling. Keeping it refrigerated should protect the quality of the oil. The constant change of temperature in a bathroom is not a good environment for the oil. The bathroom is also exposed to many sources of contamination. All personal care products have an antibacterial in the ingredients. You do not want to keep a food you are using to detoxify your body in a location where it can become rancid.

I'm always in search for alternative medicine that I can try at home. Like millions of Americans I'm not fortunate enough to have health insurance. While searching the web I came upon the practice of oil pulling. I'd never heard of it in my life. But, when you are challenged with so many different conditions, as I am and you know that going to seek medical advice is not an option, you'll try anything even if it kills you-- at least you've tried. Well, am still here so nothing has killed me yet. Anyway, from time to time I have horrible cold sores, wich of course is the herpes virus (many people don't know this). So I read that oil pulling with sesame seed oil right at the onset of a breakout would impede the nasty blisters from forming and cause the virus to go back to dormancy. I had just started a new job and it was very stressful. I broke out horribly. I had forgotten that I had purchased some organic sesame oil to try when the need arose. But, by the time I remembered it had developed into a full blown break-out. So I thought to myself it's too late to try it since the sores had already formed. Surprisingly enough I tried it any way. The results were incredible! After the second day my blisters, that were increasing in number, suddenly took a reverse and started shrinking. Today is the third day and the blisters are crusted over. My husband said I shouldn't write a review until the outbreak is completely over, but I'm so convinced and happy that I've had such awesome results that I just had to tell somebody. And beside its not going to hurt you to try it. It's probably safer than trying the newest energy drink on the market. No one seeks a Doctors approval for that.
Try it!

Hi Christine,

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I have read several articles on the internet saying that oil pulling does not work and that it is just another alternative medicine scam. Nice to hear people are having positive experiences and truthfully all that matters is that it works. The "how" is not important people tend to forget in mainstream medicine doctors don't always know how or why something works they just know it works!
stay well and healthy
Michelle
